As much as India's players are eager to take on Ireland in the upcoming series and stake their claims for a T20 World Cup spot, Ireland's very own cricketers can't wait to test themselves against one of the best teams in the world.

All-rounder Gareth Delany is relishing the prospect of facing two India players in particular, Surya Kumar Yadav and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. The former has established himself as an explosive, 360-degree batsman, while the latter is coming into this tour having won the Player of the Series accolade against South Africa.
